Ed Schultz repeats blame of GOP for Detroit’s financial ruins

Agreeing with fellow MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry, Ed Schultz claimed that Detroit had filed for bankruptcy because the city had a government that was just too small. On Saturday, Schultz argued “Republican policies” led Detroit to become a “conservative utopia.”

Harris-Perry last week said what is happening in Detroit occurs “when government is small enough to drown in your bathtub.”

“Detroit, Michigan, used to be really a symbol of industrial strength and manufacturing in this country. But, thanks to a lot of Republican policies, the city is now filing for bankruptcy,” Schultz said over the weekend.

Schultz made other bold claims: “Detroit going bankrupt is exactly what the Republicans want.”

The show flashed a graphic featuring former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, President Ronal Reagan and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder with the accompanying headline, “Conservative Utopia.”
